Cilma Tablet 5 mg contains Cilnidipine, a calcium channel blocker used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure). It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, which helps reduce elevated blood pressure. Maintaining healthy blood pressure with Cilma Tablet lowers the risk of serious cardiovascular complications, including heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.

Cilnidipine is a unique dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that inhibits both L-type and N-type calcium channels. This dual action not only relaxes blood vessels but also moderates sympathetic nervous system activity, reducing reflex tachycardia and providing more stable blood pressure control compared to some other calcium channel blockers. Cilma Tablet 5 mg is particularly useful for patients requiring lower doses or initial therapy for mild to moderate hypertension.

Composition

Each tablet contains:
Cilnidipine 5 mg

Mechanism of Action

Cilnidipine lowers blood pressure by blocking L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscles, which causes dilation of blood vessels. Simultaneously, by blocking N-type calcium channels in sympathetic nerve terminals, it reduces excessive sympathetic nerve activity, decreasing peripheral resistance. This dual mechanism helps provide effective and sustained blood pressure control while protecting the cardiovascular system.
